“Balance is not something you find. Balance is something you create.”

One of the biggest challenges that women continue to face is maintaining a steady work-life balance. Along with working full time, they must deal with their household responsibilities, while battling societal pressure.

Such a scenario can be quite stressful in demanding sectors such as manufacturing, wherein women have to constantly keep up with ever-evolving technologies to stay updated with their skillset.

With the COVID-19 pandemic, the balance between personal and professional life has been all the more precarious. Women with professions are facing an especially tough time, as they must simultaneously deal with their familial and work-related responsibilities.

With this context in mind, hear from P. Srilatha, Associate CCS, ATS ELGi, on how young, professional women must balance the divide between personal and professional commitments, especially in tough times.

Yet, the biggest breakthrough that entrepreneurship offers women is the opportunity to make a difference in the world around them – come what may.
